CHAPTER 217

Chapter 217

Nyle froze upon hearing Jordyn’s voice

“Jordyn, Ive warned you before. I have no intention of marrying you. And what right do you have to bring a gift to my grandmother? Are you some mistress I’m keeping on the side? Clark demanded.

After a brief silence Jordyn’s voice trembled as she responded, “Cl. I’m not foolish enough to think you’ll marry me. I just wanted to deliver a gift to your grandmother to thank you for finding a kidney for my father

“Shut up!” Clark’s voice was cold and cutting Jordyn, if you mention this again, I won’t let it slide!

“Clark Jordyn pleaded

“Get out, now!” Clark’s voice was filled with anger

Jordyn seemed frightened. After a moment, she replied softly, “Clark. Please don’t be angry. I leave right away

The sound of her high heels faded, signaling her departure. Soon after, Clark also left.

Nyla remained seated on the grass, her head lowered, her body hidden in the darkness. It was as if the night bad swallowed her whole, merging her with the shadows.

After an unknown amount of time, she looked up, her red eyes filled with derision. It made sense now why Clark had reacted the way he had when she asked about getting her father a kidney transplant

The kidney meant for Harrison had been given to Jordyn’s father. Clark had known that Harrison had been waiting for this kidney for two years, yet he had given it away so easy Clearly, Nyla meant nothing to him

The Summer father and son had ruined her family’s company, schemed to send her to Damon’s bed, and now, Clark had betrayed their relationship by giving away the most in portant thing to her–to his mistress father.

It was just perfect!

Nyla bit her lip hard enough to taste blood, keeping it clamped between her teeth even as the metallic taste filled her mouth. She had initially planned to gather evidence and d

Clark, but now she regretted that decision

Chapter 17

Cyrus and Clark had made her life a living hell. She couldn’t let them get away with in so easily.

Given her own limitations, dealing with Clark and Cyrus alone would be impossible. The simplest solution was to align herself with Damon.

Nyla’s eyes flashed with conflict.

Damon had helped her a lot, and she had feelings for him, so she didn’t want to hum him. But it seemed there was no other way now.

Taking a deep breath and gaining a resolute look in her eyes, she straightened her dress and slowly walked back to the main hall.

As soon as she entered, Clark approached her with a frown. “Where have you been?”

Meeting his questioning gaze, Nyla kept her expression neutral. “I felt a bit claustrophobic, so I stepped outside for some fresh air. Why?”

“Did you run into anyone?” Clark asked.

Nyla chuckled. “Should I have run into anyone?”

Clark visibly relaxed and lowered his voice. No. There are many guests today, and was worried someone might trouble you.”

“Got it,” Nyla replied.

Her indifference brought a scowl to Clark’s face, but since it was Marie’s birthday party, he set his displeasure aside. “If you’re fine, go talk to Grandma and Mom-*

Before he could finish, Cyrus‘ cold voice came from the side. “Clark, your grandmother is calling for you.”

Nyla turned to look at Cyrus, noticing the anger and surprise in his eyes. She raised an eyebrow and smiled but said nothing.

To Cyrus, Nyla’s smile was nothing short of a blatant provocation. He hadn’t expected her to escape and ruin the hidden camera he had set up.

Cyrus‘ anger flared since his plans were thwarted, and killing intent flashed in his

eyes.
